Re: bought 'nother mauser

Re: bought 'nother mauser
you are probably right on cleaning!!!!!! not measuring it, but i think its a 24" barrel. i have a b square rear sight scope mount on the way. i think a vortex 2-7 IER scope will be good enuff. i don't want to d&t for a scope mount.

Re: New Krag owner. Questions & looking for parts.
Awesome work. I have worked only many stocks but Wood filler removal and repair is beyond me. buy an oil based filler, like famowood. you'll have to re-sand the stock but you'll love it. https://smile.amazon.com/FamoWood-36021126-Original-Wood-Filler/dp/B000RMNVTI/ref=pd_nav_hcs_rp_1?pd_rd_w=ongUf&...
